Desert Eagle Suletan Khan

"Is this the Durbi City built by Nurhaci? Isn't it a strong city that is known for defeating powerful enemies? How come it was taken down in just half an hour in front of me?" The great Khan Lianhua climbed up to the top of the Durbi City, looking very proud. In fact, this was inevitable. A few days ago, the guard of Durbi City, the guard commander Wada, and the white flag Jiala Zhangjing Haoerde led the army to rescue Shengjing and took away most of the elite troops. Now there are only 300 old and weak soldiers in the city. How can they be the opponent of 25,000 elite guards? In just half an hour, the wolf-like guards broke through the city. It was not that the city was not built solidly, but that there were no soldiers guarding it.

"The Khan is so powerful, how can a small city stop your horse's hooves?" "Yes! In front of the Khan's majesty, what is a small city like Durbi? Sooner or later, all the lands of the nine provinces will be the territory of David"... Once the superior is in the mood to boast, countless flatterers will flock to him and flatter him.

"This is all due to the efforts of our soldiers, not my own credit!" The wise Khan finally told the truth, and with a smile he ordered to set up camp in Durbi City that night and march to the Left Front Banner of Khorchin early the next morning.

"What! The Rangers discovered the dragon and lion flag of the Guards in Durbi City?" Ejinyin, the Zasak Tubingtu Prince of the Left Front Banner of Khorchin, was shocked when he heard the news. According to the rules of the Guards, ordinary troops use fishing rods and fishing flags, but only the imperial guards who guard the emperor and garrison important cities can use the dragon and lion flag symbolizing the Lotus Khan. The appearance of the dragon and lion flag indicates that the enemy they are about to face is a brave general of the Imperial Guards, even if it is not the Khan himself. The name of a person is like the shadow of a tree. At this time, the fierce power of the Oirat God of War has resounded throughout the Mongolian Plateau. In the Mongolian tribes that depended on the Qing Dynasty, the name of the fierce god Sultan was even used by mothers to stop their children from crying at night. How could Ejinyin not be afraid? Fighting for the Qing Dynasty for many years, too many people died in the tribe. Now that the main force of the enemy has appeared, even if they can defeat it, the Left Front Banner of Khorchin will probably be seriously injured after the war.

"Quick! Organize all the people to retreat north immediately! Leave tonight and don't stay!" The Bingtu County King made a wise decision. If you can't win, then retreat is the basic tactic of the grassland people. It is not shameful to retreat to preserve strength. Our ancestor Genghis Khan often did this.

Soon, more than 20,000 people from the Left Front Banner of Khorchin were gathered together, with 5,000 soldiers on the periphery, the elderly, children and women in the middle, and the people, led by officers at all levels, drove carts and cattle, sheep, horses and camels to the north in an orderly manner. The night was not scary, as long as they lit torches, it was better than facing the fierce god Sultan's army.

After a short rest in Durbi City, the well-rested guards set foot on the grazing ground of the Left Front Banner of Khorchin and found that the Khorchin people had left the camp. No, there were no tents. They were very careful when they left and did not even leave a tent or a sheep for the Great Khan.

"The cunning Ejin, he runs faster than a gazelle!" The Lotus Khan, who had gained nothing, was surprised at the speed of the enemy's escape and muttered. On the surface, he was mocking the enemy's cowardice, but in fact he was praising the enemy's decisiveness.

"I am willing to lead my troops to pursue the Khorchin people," Nagat, the head of the Chahar army, requested a fight.

"I am willing to go too," said Obodui Wulanghai, the head of the Durbet army, who also asked for battle.

One of them is the Great Khan's nephew, and the other is the Great Khan's brother-in-law. They are close relatives, so it is not easy to offend them. Sultan smiled and said, "You two must ride fast horses and ride the wind. Even if you chase them to the ends of the earth, you must bring the Khorchin people back to me!"

"Yes!"

Encouraged by the god of war, the second general led his 5,000 soldiers and horses to gallop quickly, following the horses' hooves of the Khorchin tribe.

Ejinyin led more than 20,000 people from the Left Front Banner of Khorchin to the banks of the Liaohe River. What a clear river! Crystal clear, pure as a jade belt. The Khorchin people, who were familiar with the route, quickly found the best crossing point for both horses and men.

"Cross the river!" Ejinyin roared in a low voice, like a prairie wolf fleeing from the hunter's bow and arrow. Seeing one thousand-man team after another crossing the Xiliao River, his heavy heart finally settled down.

Suddenly, the eyes of the Zasak Tubingtu Prince became sharp and terrifying. A number of hateful fishing poles and fishing flags appeared in front of him, on the north bank of the Liaohe River. "Oh no, there are enemies. Form a line! Form a line quickly!" He shouted loudly.

The young Zhao Wang Biligendalai looked at the hastily arranged Khorchin army with contempt, as if he was looking at prey caught in a trap, and spat out two words in a cold voice: "Attack!"

"Warriors, follow me to kill the enemy!" Urrigendalai, the Junggar commander who had been waiting for a long time, excitedly kicked the horse's belly with his foot and took the lead in riding his horse to rush towards the enemy.

"Drive~drive~drive~"

"Da~da~da~"

Ten thousand iron cavalrymen charged into the Khorchin army like steel knives, smashing their vanguard into pieces.

"Not good! Go back and retreat eastward to Ningguta", Ejinyin decisively gave up the plan to go to the Left Rear Banner and wanted to lead his people to surrender to the Qing army. However, another guard army appeared behind him. Chahar Wanhu Chief Nagat and Durbet Wanhu Chief Ebodui Wulanghai led 5,000 men to arrive and cut off the escape route of the Horqin Left Front Banner.

The king's flag fell to the ground weakly. Ejinyin didn't care about his flag. He just wanted to break out of the siege, but it was just a delusion. A general of the guard army who used a hammer aimed at him and swung the hammer, smashing the exhausted Bingtu Prince to the ground. The generals annihilated the Khorchin warriors who dared to resist, collected the captured Khorchin tribesmen, and stationed their troops on the north bank of the Liao River, patiently waiting for the Great Khan's horses.

The God of War Oirat finally arrived, bringing his army with him. In this battle, 5,000 soldiers and horses of the Left Wing Rear Banner and the Left Wing Front Banner of Khorchin were annihilated, and more than 30,000 people from the two banners were captured, with only a few hundred losses on his side. Sultan was very satisfied and ordered rewards for the three armies. In order to make up for the losses in the war, he ordered the Khorchin warriors to be incorporated into his army. There was no gentle recruitment order, only silver and iron blood: all young and strong adults without illness or disability who were willing to join the guards, in addition to enjoying military pay, were rewarded with a horse and ten sheep; those who were unwilling to join were demoted to slaves. As soon as this order was issued, more than 3,000 Khorchin warriors voluntarily or involuntarily joined the guards, increasing the number of troops under the Great Khan to 38,000.

"Father Khan, what should we do next? Continue to attack the Khorchin people?" Biligenda asked his old father.

"By now, Wu Keshan, Manzhu Xili and the others should have known about my arrival. Give them some time to gather their troops. Otherwise, the Khorchin grassland is so large. If they wander around on the grassland and fight guerrilla warfare with me, I really can't do anything to them for a while." Sultan laughed and said to his son, "We are not going anywhere. We will stay in the Khorchin Left Wing Rear Banner and wait to take down the Khorchin tribe in one fell swoop!" (End of this chapter)
